i actually waited to put the visors on after tinting the car. I believe it would of looked a little weird since the visors are a "smokey" color

I checked the internet looking everywhere for the visors and finally ended up buying them from one of the vendors listed on this site, nigel-jdmparts.com, when I bought the car last year. They were advertised at $502. Expensive! Yes! But I couldn't find them anywhere else and I also wanted JDM quality so I paid the price. In Canada for the 2017 model year the Side Window Deflectors are now listed as an accessory at $470 installed. Cheaper than what I paid and includes installation. Murphy's Law! The photo of the deflectors are exactly what they look like mounted on the car. Are they worth it? If the chrome is the same as what's on the car and last just as long then most likely.

Those look really good, I do like how they appear very flat. Appreciate the information!

I've had the well visors installed on my ct200h. About after 3 years my chrome started to chip off. I ended up ripping off the visors cause it looked terrible. Hopefully they're better now.

I think I will just go with the JDM ones and be done with it ... they look much neater too 😊

Honestly, after running similar window visors on my CT, I'm hesitant to put them on again. They look great, however, it somewhat limits the views while you're driving and causes the windows to accumulate dirt underneath since you can't easily clean it when you're wiping your windows down at the gas station. I do like how they look though.

Thank you. I didn't realize how hard it is to find a Lexus JDM dealer.

Yes, I agree but my only concern will be the extra noise, if any, but visors do make the car look a little unique and extra blockage from the sun is always a plus.

I got these WellVisors rain guards on my RX450H via Amazon from about 7 months now. The fit was good. no problem.

Here's a JDM source a few of my friends use. They don't have much on their website for our particular car, but if you contact them they might be able to get you something:
